See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking €25,000 but estimated renovation ~€700/m² → €38,500, so effective price ≈ €63,500 or ≈€1,155/m² versus regional median €435/m². Property is 2 km from the sea with a terrace, but the listing omits a bathroom and the heavy renovation needed makes this a costly project relative to local benchmarks.
More on the house and the area
A small, multi-level town house with intact original terrazzo floors, wooden shutters and doors plus balconies and a 15 m² terrace — good period character but nothing spectacular. The structure is roofed and floored, so it’s a realistic renovation project, but interiors need comprehensive work (no bathroom shown, exposed ceilings, rewiring/plumbing) before it becomes a comfortable home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €20,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Significant renovation required: exposed ceiling bricks, peeling plaster and general repair needed
- No bathroom currently shown — full plumbing/bathroom installation likely required
- Electrical and plumbing likely outdated or absent and will need work
- Small, narrow multi-level layout (55 m²) limits space and may increase renovation complexity
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Bagheria on the Tyrrhenian side east of Palermo, so the lived setting is a dense coastal town rather than open countryside. The Tyrrhenian coast is a few kilometres away at the Bagheria-Aspra shoreline, with short stretches of rocky coast and small coves around Capo Zafferano. Monte Catalfano rises immediately above the coast and is protected as the Monte Catalfano nature reserve. Palermo is the nearest city of size, with the full range of services, rail links and cultural sites.
